Here's a few photos of our life together over the years. We love our family and friends and we're so delighted that you'll be celebrating with us on our big day.
My family is complete!
I found the perfect dress for my special day with help from by besties Terri and Linda who are my Matron and Maid of Honor! They're also my Delta Sigma Theta sorors - Oooooh Oooop!
Paul's brother, and Best Man Roger (Bulie).
Here's our Groomsman Al with his wife Terri.
I met these ladies many years ago working at OMB in Orlando. We became and remain close friends. In fact, Sharon (left) is my official wedding planner, and Barbara (middle) is my chapel decorator.
I'm so excited to have my only child Kyle walk me down the isle.
Here's our grand-niece Athena who is one of our flower girls. She's such a pleasure to be around, and growing up so fast. She's super excited to be a part of the wedding!
A more recent pic of Athena picking strawberries.
This is our beautiful grand-cousin Zuri. She's a little younger in this pic and will be our second flower girl. She lights up a room with her dimples.
Hey everyone, it's Zuri!
Here's our grand-nephew Luis. He's such a little prince so it's simply perfect to have him be our ring bearer.
My two loves.
Pops, I'm so happy for you and mom.
Selfie time!
Now that was a great meal!
Here's me all dolled-up! You'll have to wait and see what my wedding make-up artist (JoMichelle) has in store for me.
Perhaps we had a little too much wine in this pic, jk :-).
Hiyeeee!
Great friends are a blessing from God!
One of the many times we went to Universal Studios. Sharon (SaucyBrit) is our "ride or die" chick. We all love Mardigras and Christmas, but I believe "SaucyBrit" prefers Halloween Horror Nights lol.
One of our many Christmas' together at Universal Studios. Of course SaucyBrit was the photographer ;-)
With my chicas celebrating Winsome's birthday. 'Winne the Poo' is on the far left. She's such a kind, sweet soul and will be assisting with concierge service during the reception.
Paul and me at the Black History Banquet - March 2010. Our table was sponsored by NFBPA.
This is my big birthday celebration at the Blue Martini circa 2011.
At one of the many birthday celebrations I enjoyed with my girls. Here, we're celebrating Sharon's birthday in 2011 at "J.J. Whispers" night club in Orlando, Florida.
Celebrating another one of Sharon's famous 'Cinco-De-Mayo' birthdays at San Jose's Original Mexican Restaurant in Ocoee, Florida on May 4, 2014. If I recall correctly, Barbara got her groove on lol.
You guessed it lol. Yet another one of Sharon's birthday bashes in May 2010...this time at Universal Studios "Rising Star." Barbara and Sharon got on stage and did the ultimate karaoke performance.
Sharon and I orchestrated a fund-raiser on 7/8/2012 for our church (Grace Bible Church) that afforded us the opportunity to attend a life-changing mission trip to South Africa. We raised over $5,000.
Here we are at Brakenfell, Western Cape, South Africa at one of the missionary residences. Although we were in Capetown, it was quite cool in September 2012.
Terri was an award recipient at the African-American Cultural Center's 50th anniversary at the University of Connecticut (UCONN)!
Linda and me at UCONN with our mascot - Huskie!
Barbara wishing Terri a happy birthday in Orlando at B.B. Kings.
The three of us celebrating Christmas in my brand new home in 2018.
Here I am with my G.R.A.C.E dance ministry.
Michelle and Renéa (with the G.R.A.C.E. Dance Ministry) will be performing a special praise dance at the reception entitled "The Prayer" by Yolanda Adams and Donnie McClurkin.
Sharon and I had a marvelous shopping spree at Z Gallerie getting my new house ready for guests :-). - 8/8/21
Some well deserved (and needed) relaxation time with great friends. Cheers! - 8/14/21
Let the countdown begin. This pic was taken at my bachelorette party on 10-2-2021 at Mia's Italian Kitchen. Thanks everyone for coming.
We had the best time at my bachelorette brunch on 10-2-21 at Mia's Italian Restaurant. Terry, you were missed. I love my bride babes <3. #teambride
